[QUOTE="Ignacio, post: 378266, member: 434"] I got replacement bulbs in and installed them last night. I opted to replace the 4 that are the backlights and on all the time...and leave the 5 that are for the status lights alone. At about $3 each....they are not cheap. I also replaced the two turn signal bulbs as they were under $2 each. What was curious is that even though 3 of the 4 weren't burned out....they had a nice black haze to them. [IMG]https://lh4.google.com/eltopia/R8esSMKkYkI/AAAAAAAADdA/Kizk4dwqcAU/s800/MW284121b.JPG[/IMG] The 5 stats bulbs weren't discolored like this...so my choice of only replacing 4 high use lights seems logical. The bonus of all this was after I installed the new bulbs and tried the dash in my darkened garage.....the instrument panel just seemed clearer to read.....I'm sure because more photons are making it through the new bulbs.
